Martin Beddall

Winner of the Best Wedding Photographer award for London and The South East in 2015 and 2016.

My background as a photojournalist at The Times and The Independent newspapers influences my documentary wedding photography approach. My photography seeks to reflect the wedding day rather than impose upon it. Natural photography rather than heavily stylized imagery.

Judges

Could a bride and groom ask for anything as lovely as the gift of an innocent and soulful hug request (from a little tyke we must presume is their own) on their wedding day? It’s the simple moment like this that kept me moving forward as a young photographer, simply knowing that every day I came to work afforded me a chance for the simple grace of a real moment.
